PARTICIPATION & CONSULTATION

Planning and designing places collaboratively with communities and other stakeholders is at the heart of our approach to projects from strategic visions to detail design and delivery. We are very experienced at finding innovative and effective means by which to engage with a wide range of stakeholders including communities, political leaders, businesses, schools and young people.

We have planned and facilitated a national pilot project, working with a rural community to build capacity in articulating views about their place and delivering positive change. This was recognised by ministerial endorsement, an award for participatory planning and the receipt by residents of a silver medal at the International Awards for Liveable Communities (Livcom) in China.

We have also co-ordinated community involvement in the trialling of public realm proposals to inform layouts and detailed design. This highly innovative approach became central to a European Union knowledge-sharing programme.
